This volume aims at solving the implicit meaning that in the title relates the adjective critical to the term technology, supporting a reflection which could throw light also on the value of innovation in education. Describing, then, the results of a research, whose main objective was that of verifying if higher education students’ critical thinking skills can be increased, thanks to cultural insights carried out on line, we mean to value the need for educational research, which is an essential condition to develop quality in teaching and learning and in higher education teaching and learning in particular.
Il volume si propone di sciogliere l’implicito che nel titolo mette in relazione l’aggettivo critico con il termine tecnologia, con l’intento di sollecitare una riflessione che faccia luce anche sul significato dell’innovazione in educazione. Descrivendo, poi, i risultati di una ricerca tesa a verificare la possibilità di incrementare le capacità di pensiero critico degli studenti universitari attraverso approfondimenti culturali effettuati in rete, si intende sostenere la necessità di valorizzare le attività di ricerca educativa che rappresentano una condizione essenziale per lo sviluppo della qualità della didattica in generale e di quella universitaria in particolare.

Abstract
This volume aims at solving the implicit meaning that in the title relates the adjective critical to the term technology, supporting a reflection which could throw light also on the value of innovation in education. Describing, then, the results of a research, whose main objective was that of verifying if higher education students’ critical thinking skills can be increased, thanks to cultural insights carried out on line, we mean to value the need for educational research, which is an essential condition to develop quality in teaching and learning and in higher education teaching and learning in particular.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
